How Dark Willow and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Visage win 53.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 929 matches.
Taking towers and controlling the map can be more straightforward when this pair gets a lead. Dark Willow provides the setup that Visage needs to secure kills with his Familiars. A Cursed Crown or a lucky Bramble Maze root holds an enemy in place, making them an easy target. Visage can then apply Grave Chill, slowing the target's retreat and ensuring the Familiars can finish the job. This lets the pair turn a successful gank into an objective. The combo relies heavily on landing Willow's spells first, so if she misses or the enemy has a way to dispel her lockdown, the opportunity can fall apart quickly.
